So if you set breakpoints in the callbacks, you are sure that they are
not triggered?

So I am hearing that you are using plain old subclasses of
WAComponent? And you override #children in your subclass? And then
#renderContentOn:?

What do you call to render your sub components?

A better idea of your code structure or snippets of it may help.

I have no idea how to check that with GNU; we're using
Monticello/Metacello to load into Pharo and GemStone. And even in our
environment it is difficult to figure out.
